In my country, elections are held with an electronic ballot box. Many people question the effectiveness and real security of this method, which although it seems promising, brings some insecurities, as no electronic system is proof of fraud or failure.
Could blockchain technology solve this problem definitively?
Would it be a good thing to apply this technology in elections and put people's future in the hands of blockchain?
I personally believe more in the security of the blockchain than a ballot box made using technology that is subject to alteration and fraud, controlled by the government itself.
The solution blockchain offers are limitless but blockchain will not be adopted for certain purposes in corrupt societies or parastatals because it will render their corrupt practices useless and limit the possibility of further perpetrations of corruption.
Elections are been marred with heavy rigging and disenfranchisement and this is not a possibility using the blockchain technology. So, blockchain remains a solution to global practices.
